We are fewer than 100 days away from another Olympic games, which means it's about the time countries begin revealing their teams' ceremonial uniforms. If those unveilings are any indication, we're in for another round of dull, unmemorable outfits that have no correlation whatsoever with the dynamism of the world's greatest athletes.
